Code: 35000151
Price: $11.00
Umayyad Mosque (Damascus)

Code: 35000155
Price: $5.00
Cathedral (Manchester)
Good thing this isn’t Winchester Cathedral or the price might be a little higher. As it is, the card was mailed sometime in the 1980s with a 26p stamp that did not get postmarked, and a blue air mail sticker (that didn’t get postmarked either). Reverse is showing its age. Grade: 3

Code: 35000156

Code: 35000162
Price: $3.50

Wat Pho (Bangkok)

This popular tourist destination’s alternate name is Wat Prachetuphon but unless you’re Thai, Wat Pho is a lot easier to say. Card was mailed in mid-1980s with two stamps and a heavy, illegible postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 35000163

Price: $4.50

Code: 35000170
Price: $2.00
Jameq Mosque (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia)

Code: 35000177

Debre Berhan, Selassie Church, Gondar (Ethiopia)

Code: 35000178
Price: $3.00
Great Mosque, Cordova (Spain)
In 1990 the World of Islamic Civilization Expo in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, issued cards with Islamic themes, including this one. So the card can also be considered “Malaysian.” It has a Malaysian stamp and was mailed (orange postal bar coding on bottom reverse) but no postmark. There is a serrated se-tenant stub still attached. Grade: 4

Code: 35000179
Price: $1.50
Tai Pee Sim Monastery, Ipoh (Malaysia)
Caption informs us this is a monastery of “The Heart of Great Sympathy.” But the card was mailed in 1990 with a Perak stamp, only part of the postmark, and Malaysian postal bar coding on bottom reverse. Grade: 3

Code: 35000180
Price: $3.00
Malay Mosque, Malacca (Malaysia)
We’re sorry, we must somewhat irreverently observe there are very few strictly Chinese or Indian mosques. Two cards are available, one mailed in 1986 with part of the postmark (Grade: 2, $3) and one in 1991 with a full Shah Alam mark (Grade: 1, $4).

Code: 35000181

Hindu Temple, Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia)
We’re making an exception here and including four cards together that have the same photo but come from different print runs and fonts. Each was mailed sometime between 1986 and 1990. One has two stamps; the others have one. Three of these cards are Grade: 2 ($4.50) while the other is Grade: 3 ($3).

Code: 35000184
Price: $4.50
Masjid Negara, Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia)
It is interesting but not significant to most of us that S.W. Singapore, the publishers of this card, gave the same index number (KL2082) to at least two different photos of the same mosque. You can see the other in our card 20316738. For this particular shot, two cards are available, each one aging notably with theor own stamp and partial postmarks. Grades: 3

Code: 35000185
Price: $3.50
Masjid Negara, Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) (second version)
Same S.W. Singapore index number (KL2082) as our card 20316737, but not the same photo. Four of these are available, all used. Two were mailed from Negeri Sembilan, with stamp and partial postmark, and ink transfer on the front (Grades: 3, $2.50). The other two were mailed in Kuala Lumpur with Wilayah Persekutuan stamp and full postmarks (Grades: 1, $3).

Mount St. Sepulchre church interior (Washington, DC)
